Zigbee Multipurpose Window sensor, any but Aeotec?

Hardware

This seems to be a good piece of hardware but:

  1. There is not inclination angle detection and/or measurement.
  2. Only 1 manufacturer in the world, feels like a monopoly.

Please, share your finding for a window sensor which can detect:

  • Open/close with magnet;
  • Vibration;
  • Inclination change and angle;
  • Temperature/humidity/luminosity (optional).

Also sold out, I see… :grin:

As an alternative to Zigbee, you might have a look at Wireless Sensor Tags, which use RF and have a very long range.

They don’t use a magnet, but they do detect open/closed through movement and angle change, plus temperature and humidity. One model does luminosity as well. You need a base station to use them, but it’s very small and relatively inexpensive.

There is a HA integration (yaml only and cloud-based, unfortunately).

I’ve had several of these for years and found them to be quite reliable. The manufacturer’s estimate of battery life is a bit optimistic - more like six months in my experience, particularly at low temperatures. Not waterproof (except for the sealed moisture sensors).
